WOW!!! I had no idea I would get this kind of a response to my message! I am so encouraged by all the positive comments made about Easy Record and really encouraged to continue doing exactly what I have been doing--that is, recording LIVE (using Easy Record) what I am playing and then enjoying it later on by having saved it. I have learned so much from all of you guys and gals here on the Forum that it blows my mind I better understand now and agree that there are so many extra aspects of the keyboard that can add to any real time performance, and I am now more and more encouraged to try using the Performance Pads and fill-ins more than apparently I have been doing. Thanks so much to you all for your feedback. Maybe I'm not as bad as I thought I was ; my wife has been telling me that she is amazed at my new-found skill since getting the 7000. Now I am almost inclined to start to agree with her, thanks to the encouragement and words of wisdom from you all! LONG LIVE THE 7000!

Cheers to you all, my dear friends!
